Adult Nursery Rhymes

These Funny Poems Perfectly Describe the Struggle to Achieve Adulthood

— November 10, 2015 — Pop Culture
These funny poems by illustrator and writer Samantha Jayne perfectly capture the struggle of being twenty-something, stuck in that awkward post-college period between adolescence and adulthood.

The nursery rhymes for grown-ups include such gems as "I love hearing about your choice to become gluten-free, please keep talking as I go drown myself in the sea," and "When I get hungry for more than just food, I log on to Tinder and order a dude." For parents, the funny poems are a hilarious look into the weird, wacky world of the social media-driven millennial generation, and for younger people, they might as well be a rhyming diary.

Posts and campaigns that can appeal to youth in a humorous, direct and sympathetic way -- like this Quarter Life Poetry -- tend to gain immediate social media traction, reaching a large and engaged audience.
Trend Themes
1. Humorous Adulting - Creating humorous content like these adult nursery rhymes that resonate with young adults struggling to adult can create social media traction for brands.
2. Relatable Young Adult Content - Generating content that speaks directly to the unique struggles of the millennial generation as they navigate the waters of adulthood can help brands effectively appeal to young adults.
3. Social Media Engagement - Brands that engage their target audience on social media can increase brand loyalty and visibility, especially with the millennial generation that frequently consumes content on these platforms.
Industry Implications
1. Publishing - Publishers can generate viral content like adult nursery rhymes to attract younger audiences and increase engagement on social media platforms.
2. Marketing - Marketers can integrate humorous adulting content in their campaigns to have a relatable and intimate connection with millennials.
3. Media & Entertainment - Media and entertainment companies can create shows, movies, and series about adulting that speak to the millennial's humor and sense of self-discovery.
